This is complaining about the statefile (ifstate) not being writeable.
This is probably a problem with your filesystem. Are you using an NFS
filesystem? is it mounted R/W, or Read-only?
BTW, now that I've seen your interfaces file, I suspect the reason
your interface is not coming up automatically is because you've left
out the "auto eth0" line...
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.36
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Hi:
In order to set a static IP address to roach Ethernet port, I insert
the following configuration to the /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth0 inet static
address 130.155.199.211
netmask 255.255.240.0
gateway 130.155.192.2
dns-nameservers 130.155.194.32 130.155.192.40
Then I
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
So the Ethernet port works properly.
But when I restart the Roach, I could not run ifdown and ifup
command anymore. A failure is reported:
ifdown: failed to open statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate: Stale NFS
file handl
Then I run ls /etc/network/run/ifstate, similar error is reported:
ls: /etc/network/run/ifstate: Stale NFS file handle
This is repeatable.
Anybody has any idea?
Thanks
Wan
